Giving in the Digital World For charitable organizations and initiatives, the Internet provides the opportunity to reach more people in more direct and personal ways. Are they grasping this opportunity? Following on the earthquake in Haiti in January 2010, generous individuals around the world used their mobile phones to make more than $40 million in gifts to aid organisations. More than $1 billion in gifts came in the next four weeks, a large percentage of which was donated online. But the real stories of how digital tecAuthor(s): No creator set

Having subtracted the dipolar anisotropy due to the motion of the Earth relative to the 3 K radiation, we are left with radiation that is exceedingly isotropic. So, we have to ask whether there are any residual variations that would point to a departure from isotropy of the radiation itself? This is a crucial question. Although it was gratifying to have the radiation so isotropic that there could be little doubt of its cosmic origins, nevertheless a completely isotropic distribu

Added Value: Implementation of User Requirements in City Simulators The following contribution discusses the possible consequences of the concept of City Simulators and Digital City Models, which can be obtained from a previously conducted user inquiry in an Urban Planning Department. At the core of the examination are the additional benefit (added value) and the increasing acceptance of digital planning techniques by its users which can be made possible by the implementation of user requirements in City Simulators. Various experiments for cooperative planning iAuthor(s): Andreas Voigt, Helena Linzer

In this course I shall be introducing you to some ideas about how ICT systems work. Because this course is about ICT systems, I'll be starting with a discussion about what constitutes a system. I'll go on to introduce some diagrammatic ways of representing ICT systems. Then I'll look at some examples to illustrate how they carry out certain processes, namely conveying, storing and manipulating data. You will also find out about other processes performed by ICT systems.

Defining a process of design and learning of digital graphics by means of distance education This paper describes and analyses the teaching/learning approach which progressively is being established in the context of the Digital Graphics Post-Graduation Course. The method used has, basically, generated educational situations able to increase the self-learning capacity of the students; develop skills for collaborative activities to build the knowledge and overtake the limits of time and space imposed by traditional educational systems. The theoretical references adopted to draw the didacAuthor(s): Almeida da Silva, Adriane Borda; Ana L?cia Pinho L

Different identities assume greater or less importance, and play different roles, in different contexts and settings, and in interactions with different people. Different aspects of people’s identity may come to the fore in the workplace and in the home, for example, while people might emphasise different aspects of themselves to different people (and different people may see different identities when they meet them).

The first role that one immediately thinks about for nucleic acids is that of an inherited genetic material, principally in the form of DNA. In some cases, the inherited genetic material is RNA instead of DNA. For example, almost 60% of all characterised viruses have RNA genomes and these are more common in plant viruses than in animal viruses. There is considerable variation in the amount of genetic material present within organisms (Author(s):

Limitations and Tradeoffs of High Resolution LM Techniques In this talk, Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy systems will be compared
As reviewed in the January, 2009 issue of Nature: Methods , the past decade has seen the introduction of a number of fluorescence light microscopy techniques that permit one to surpass the Abbe Resolution limit. Although the resulting images are quite similar, differences in the operational details of these techniques can make them more or less suitable for specific types on biological studies. This talk focus on meAuthor(s): James B. Pawley
